That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated.
I resided at Lancaster Massachusetts and enlisted at that place as a private into Capt David Moore's Company, Col
Newell's Regiment Massachusetts Militia for three months about the first of June he thinks in the year 1781. The same year the British had possession of Rhode Island. - I marched with our Company & Battery - were stationed on Batts Hill on North part of Rhode Island. and there I served my term of three months. - I was discharged at that place and was there the month of November of the year aforesaid. Major Clapp belonged to our Brigade then there, David Rice was our orderly sergeant - Solomon Houghton was our Lieutenant. There were three Brigades, one of Continental Soldiers, - one of Militia, to which I belonged, & a Brigade of Negroes all under Genl Greene. - I was engaged as guard. and on patrol duty in building a fort at Batts Hill during the whole period of my enlistment. Daniel Barker - Mastering Nathaniel Taylor, Solomon Houghton and others signed with me. I returned home after my discharge, which was in writing which has been lost or destroyed - It was signed by Capt David Moore as I believe, and the year from the March following my discharge, I enlisted again at Sterling adjoining Lancaster aforesaid for four months as a private in Capt - Clapp's Col. - Newell's Regt Major Rice Genl Lincoln. I don't recollect the names of the other officers - Massachusetts Militia for four months. and marched to Worcester (Head quarters) and served there about three weeks then marched to Northfield and served there about three weeks and thence to Springfield Springfield and was stationed there about three weeks. and thence to Old Hadley & Great Barrington Mass where we remained until the time from which I enlisted had expired & I was discharged there in July of the year in which I enlisted. I think this last service was in 1783 - but am not certain as

to time I received an honorable discharge signed by Col. Knell, at Great Barrington. — one of my brothers Edward Fuller, Nathaniel Hastings, Nathan Reed & Danforth Reed, belonged to my company & enlisted when I did & served with me. I were discharged with me — Uriah Saw- yer. & — Mills were also of our company —
after my discharge from the army I returned to my Father in Lancaster Worcester County Massachusetts and resided there about eight years, and then moved to Fitz William New Ham- shire, & lived there four years, and then moved to Barn. Vermont and resided fourteen years and then moved to Burlington, lived there five years, and then moved to Milliston and lived one year, and then moved to Milton Vermont and lived there four years, and then moved, to Pine Clinton County, New York where I now reside and where I have resided about thirty twenty- three years. — I have a record of my age in my family bible made more than twenty six years ago. — I have no documentary evidence to prove to some my services. — I applied to Mr Woodward several years ago, to obtain a pension for me but he dropped and spin — in that I must have six months con- — tinuous service, which I could not do — — for this reason I have not before made application for a pension.
I hereby relinquish The names of Persons to whom I am known in my neighborhood and by whom I can prove my character for veracity and their belief of my services are Robert Platt, Elisha Batten Joshua Wells Elisha Allen, Jonas Wells Lucius Wells John Warford and others. — I hereby relinquish any claim whatever to a pension except the present and declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state, — I swear and subscribe to in open court this 5 th day of January of January 1842. —

Sir
In the case of Ignatius Fuller who claims for 3 mos service under Capt. David Moore in R. I. while the British occupied it (and) four months under Capt. Bliss in the State of Mass. no evidence of any kind is adduced but his own narrative - in a tour to R.I. in 79 The rolls of David Moore in 79 just before the enemy evacuated Newport do not bear his name or the names of the designated Lts & orderly - As he did not furnish the christian name of Capt. Bliss of the (there were seven viz. Nathl. Samuel. Joseph. Elijah. Simeon. Oliver & Abiel) the rolls of each have been unsuccessfully searched for evidence of his alleged service -

Sir
By the Secretary's direction, I have made the examination which you requested. The name of Ignatius Kuller is signed with a number of others to an order, dated Lancaster, March 22. 1782, for pay for three months service at Rhode Island in 1780, in Capt n Moore's comp y , Col. Hallett's Reg t . This is the only instance in which the name occurs upon any of the books or Rolls. As it does not show a sufficient term of service to be of any benefit, a certificate is not now sent. but if you possess any evidence of other services which this may lengthen out, it will be immediately forwarded to you without any charge, which the Secretary never makes in Revolutionary cases.
Respectfully
your ob t serv t .
